Printed circuit board
To make the PCB as small as possible, I have used some surface mounted devices, which are also on both sides of the board. This makes the board only 84x95 mm. Despite of the use of SMDs the board can be soldered by hand using a soldering iron with a thin tip. Most of the traces on the board are only 14mil wide.
The layout of the board can be downloaded here. As opposed to the board layout from Elektor (which can be downloaded on the Elektor page), in this layout an SMD-socket must be used, which can be bought e.g. from Reichelt.
